Carbon footprint calculator for a typical campus in Malaysia using life cycle assessment approach

In the history of climate change issue, human activities have been documented as a devotee in accelerating the increase number of greenhouse gases (GHGs) in the atmosphere. The subject has grown in importance to estimate and monitor GHGs emission from various activities. In this study, Information C...
